We are delighted to have secured resource consent for a Papakāinga housing development at 75 Huxley Road, Outer Kaiti on behalf of Te Runanganui o Ngati Porou in partnership with Iconiq Group.

The approved development achieves a significant milestone for Te Runanganui o Ngati Porou by enabling them to support their whanau on their whenua through providing long-term housing options centred around a shared community space within close proximity to existing support services on the site. A range of housing types and typologies are provided across the 48-dwelling scheme, including Kaumatua housing, two-storey duplexes and three-storey walk-up apartments to cater for a broad range of needs and ages. The shared community space at the centre of the proposal, in addition to extensive landscaping, and separated pedestrian paths, will further foster a vibrant and thriving residential community.

We also want to thank the consultant team from Pacific Environments, Flowpath Engineering Consultants, SJP Landscape Architect, Land Development and Engineering Consultants (LDE), Traffic Planning Consultants (TPC), Initia Geotechnical Specialists and Scope Investigations for their work on this project.

The proposal will provide a significant boost to Gisborne’s housing supply and deliver much needed homes for Te Runanganui o Ngati Porou now and into the future. We look forward to seeing this residential community come to life and the positive impact it will bring.
